In 2011, he signed with the Muaythai Premier League but was able to fight just once in the short-lived promotion, a split decision win over Jiri Zak at Muaythai Premier League: Strength and Honor in Padova, Italy on October 8, 2011.[5][6][7]
He knocked out Michael Buxant via fifth round knee at MaxPain in Genk, Belgium on February 10, 2012 to win the Belgian −81 kg/181 lb Championship.[8]
The following year, de Bonte was recruited by Glory, the world's premier kickboxing organization, and he made his promotional debut at Glory 2: Brussels on October 6, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium[9][10][11] where he lost to Murthel Groenhart by knockout from a knee in round two of their 79 kg/175 lb bout.[12][13]
He returned at Glory 6: Istanbul in Istanbul, Turkey on April 6, 2013, moving up to the 85 kg/187 lb division to face L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni.[14][15] He won via a knee KO early in round one[16][17][18] to move up to the #3 spot in Glory's middleweight rankings.[19][20]
He was set to fight Nieky Holzken in the Glory 13: Tokyo - Welterweight World Championship Tournament semi-finals in Tokyo, Japan on December 21, 2013.[21] However, he was then replaced by Raymond Daniels in the tournament for undisclosed reasons.[22]
He was set to fight against Nieky Holzken for the inaugural Glory Welterweight (-77.1 kg/170 lb) Championship at Glory 14: Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia on March 8, 2014[23][24] but the fight was cancelled when Holzken suffered a shoulder injury in a car accident.[25] The match was rescheduled for Glory 16: Denver in Broomfield, Colorado, US on May 3, 2014[26] but Holzken withdrew again due to his recurring shoulder injury and was replaced by Karapet Karapetyan.[27][28] He defeated Karapetyan via split decision to take the title.[29][30]
